Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 246: The Commander’s Couple Mask
To avoid an uncontrollable situation at the event and to prevent the young lady from getting angry, the organizers immediately announced the start of the cooking competition.
The judges, including the elderly Su, returned to their seats.
But most of their attention was fixed on station one and could not be shifted away.
Whether it was the Food God’s mesmerizing knife skills or her dazzling and awe-inspiring way of cooking, it was a visual feast for anyone who loved culinary arts.
Not only that, but most viewers in the live broadcast room were also watching the Food God at station one closely. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The camera was considerate enough to give the Food God plenty of close-ups, especially of those beautiful hands.
"Look at that way of chopping vegetables, it must be the Food God for sure!"
"I want to see the other contestants, haha, you mean the Food God’s ’brothers and sisters’?"
"Haven’t you noticed, the Food God has been ignoring those ’siblings’ the whole time, hahaha, it’s so embarrassing."
Those contestants who sought to borrow the Food God’s name to gain more popularity instantly became mere backdrops.
Some tried to interact with the Food God.
But they were completely ignored, which made them even more embarrassed.
However, one of the younger contestants greeted the Food God, who nodded slightly in response.
That was the only acknowledgment given.
Of course, those truly skilled contestants who were not cashing in on being related to the Food God were not affected and calmly continued chopping and frying their food.
Or cutting up fruit and crushing it before adding cream.
They prepared their competition dishes in an orderly fashion.
It was lively both offline and online.
Many light-years away in the vast universe, the First Starship Fleet, which had just finished a great battle, was resting and reorganizing.
Assessing damages and interrogating the captured Star Thieves.
This planet was one of the Star Thieves’ strongholds, a satellite of their main star.
Gu Jue led his men to swiftly take over the place and captured a highly competent Beastman of Lucifer.
It was a scorpion Beastman who had attempted a desperate sneak attack on Gu Jue at the end but had his scorpion tail neatly chopped off by Gu Jue.
Eventually, he was securely bound with special materials.
Looking down, Gu Jue said, "Are you sure you won’t talk?"
The scorpion man sneered, "Even if I do talk, you won’t let me go, will you? Commander Gu, how come I feel that you’ve become less cold since you got married?"
Gu Jue glanced at him quietly then turned to Li Rui and said, "This one is useless, just kill him and read his memory."
The scorpion man’s face changed instantly.
Was the interrogation supposed to be this fast?
Shouldn’t they offer him some benefits to tempt him into betraying his leader?
Why such a hasty interrogation!
What happened to good old coercion and bribery? You can’t just have coercion!
Watching the high-ranking officer approaching with a weapon, the scorpion man immediately begged for mercy, "I’ll tell everything! Ask me anything, I’ll tell you everything I know!"
Li Rui’s eyes were half-closed, "Wouldn’t it have been easier to just start like this?"
After the interrogation ended, yielding a map of the main star and some defensive layouts, Li Rui gave a friendly reminder, "If you want to live a bit longer, remember, do not mention the Commander’s wife."
Scorpion man: ...
Meanwhile, Gu Jue returned to his private rest room, carefully took out a small box from the table after loosening his tie.
There weren’t many cookies left inside.
Commander Gu’s brow furrowed slightly.
White Tiger suddenly said at that moment, "Master, your wife is competing in that gourmet competition! However, she didn’t show her face, and even wore a mask, but she dyed her hair golden. The madam with golden hair is also quite attractive!"
The ever-bootlicking White Tiger.
Holding a small cookie, Gu Jue looked up, "Broadcast it here."
"Yes!"
In the camera shot, a blonde woman dressed in a white uniform was placing the chopped vegetables into the scalding hot oil.
A very fine droplet of oil splattered onto her fair wrist, but it left no mark at all.
Even so, Gu Jue frowned, feeling very distressed.
However, when his gaze fell on the mask Su Wan was wearing, a ripple crossed his brow.
It was time for Su Wan to finish the dish, and it was also time to prepare for the offensive.
But Gu Jue asked White Tiger to help connect with Andrew, the Mecha Teacher at Empire University, first.
Andrew picked up quickly, asking anxiously, "Commander, what do you need me for?"
"Andrew, the masks you made for me before were good, so make another one, no, make a pair. I’ll have White Tiger send the measurements to you later."
Andrew was bewildered until he received the measurements from White Tiger and still didn’t understand what was going on.
Isn’t Commander Gu supposed to be fighting outside?
And hadn’t he decided to show his true face and stop wearing masks?
However, Andrew only pondered for a few seconds before starting to prepare the materials.
Even though he had stepped down as the squadron leader of the First Starship Fleet, he still remained a Star Warrior under Commander Gu!
A task given by the superior must be completed as soon as possible!
By the time Andrew stayed up all night and finished the two masks, he looked at the large and small ones and suddenly paused.
Is the Commander making a mask for his child?
No, no, no, that young master is too small still; he simply can’t wear a mask of that kind.
So why does the Commander want a small-sized mask of the same design?
**
There was no suspense in the outcome of the culinary competition; the Food God took first place.
Su Zhen and the other judges came forward to congratulate the Food God, and Su Wan actually wanted to step forward as well, but he was ruthlessly pushed aside.
It couldn’t be helped; the Food God was too conspicuous.
Moreover, in this competition, she had made a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
To be precise, it was a modified version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, where during the explanation, the Food God listed all the original ingredients of the dish.
Some of those ingredients had long been lost.
Additionally, if made in the ancient way, this dish would take a very long time.
Especially the last step, where the ingredients are placed in a pot, must be simmered over a low fire for a long time, otherwise, it wouldn’t achieve the desired effect.
But since it was a competition, and with the use of advanced cooking equipment, the cooking time was shortened after controlling the flames without affecting the taste.
Other competitors began taking notes on their light computers.
Besides that, the judges took the initiative to have the Food God participate in the critique of other contestants’ dishes.
The competition turned into a live teaching broadcast with the Food God’s involvement!
The key point was that whether it was the organizers, participants, judges, or the netizens in front of the cameras... everyone actually thought there was no problem with this!
Except for the fact that the Food God was a woman... which merely made many girls’ hearts shattered, and they stopped clamoring to marry the Food God.
However, more male netizens started to get excited on the internet.
"The Food God seems young by her voice! I wonder if she’s married?"
"Food God, please notice me, my family owns a restaurant!"
"The bosses who own restaurants in the First Star District are all sitting on the judges’ panel, dude above, step aside!"
It wasn’t just the netizens causing a ruckus and asking about the Food God’s relationship preferences.
Even the judges sitting on the panel were discussing this matter in low voices.
Mike whispered to Su Zhen, "It’s a pity I don’t have an eligible son in my immediate family; the Food God looks quite young. But on my family’s side branches, there are some good unmarried kids; I just don’t know if the Food God would take a fancy to any of the boys from those branches. Ah, your grandson hasn’t married yet, has he?"
